Alaska Job Corps Center didn’t let a frosty 38 degree morning stop them from participating in the National Health Initiative, “Move Your Body.” Student leadership and center team development were a joyous outcome when clumsy practices evolved into a magical moment of healthy enthusiasm.
Centerwide participation included carpentry class building scaffolds; maintenance preparing the field; computer technology class performing “techy” duties; talented student leaders taking ownership and teaching others; Alaska Native Dancers and Drummers offering their own “rendition” of the routine; centerwide staff and students struggling with awkwardness and finally just joining in and celebrating the mass music and movement.
